Need A New Organ?

Just grow one!  This is not a science fiction.
No transplant rejection. No lifelong taking immunosuppressant drugs. No cutting open the poor living donor's body.



I wonder if they can grow some brains for those who haven't got one.

The End of the Giant Egg

Finally, I finished my chocolate egg a few days ago.
I eat it everyday and it took me almost a month.
Gosh! Did I gain a few pounds from it?

人獸交 (聊齋志異)

聊齋志異‧犬姦

青州賈某，客于外，恆經歲不歸。家蓄一白犬，妻引與交。犬習為常。一日，夫至，與妻共臥。犬突入，登榻，嚙賈人竟死。後里舍稍聞之，共為不平，鳴于 官。官械婦，婦不肯伏，收之。命縛犬來，始取婦出。犬忽見婦，直前碎衣作交狀。婦始無詞。使兩役解部院，一解人而一解犬。有欲觀其合者，共斂錢賂役，役乃 牽聚令交。所止處，觀者常數百人，役以此網利焉。後人犬俱寸磔以死。嗚呼！天地之大，真無所不有矣。然人面而獸交者，獨一婦也乎哉？

異史氏為之判曰：「會于濮上，古所交譏；約于桑中，人且不齒。乃某者，不堪雌守之苦，浪思苟合之歡。夜叉伏牀，竟是家中牝獸；捷卿入竇，遂為被 底情郎。雲雨臺前，亂搖續貂之尾；溫柔鄉裡，頻款曳象之腰。銳錐處于皮囊，一縱股而脫穎；留情結于鏃項，甫飲羽而生根。忽思異類之交，直屬匪夷之想。尨吠 姦而為姦，妒殘凶殺，律難治以蕭曹；人非獸而實獸，姦穢淫腥，肉不食于豺虎。嗚呼！人姦殺，則擬女以剮；至於狗姦殺，陽世遂無其刑。人不良，則罰人作犬； 至於犬不良，陰曹應窮於法。宜支解以追魂魄，請押赴以問閻羅。」

Understanding Christianese by The Thinking Atheist

Have you realize the hidden meanings of Christianese?

Lesson 3. Lesson 4.

What is real? - Questions

The questions I compiled below covered parts of some branches in philosophy - epistemology and metaphysics.

What is real?

How do you know it is real?

How do you define real?

Are the five senses reliable?

Are all experiences real?

What is the nature of reality (Idealism vs Realism)?

How do know human senses are not deceiving?

Do you think your dreams are real?

Is an idea real?

If you can see/hear/touch/smell/taste something that other people can't, is it still real?

Can there be unreal?

If something/someone is unreal, how do/can you know? (it's unreal!)

Does real mean true?

If I tell you that I just smashed your precious automobile in the garage or your favorite plant in your garden, you took my word and ran out to check for damage, was "smashed car or plant" real?

著名的《聊齋誌異》中亦有提及。

《聊齋誌異‧章阿端》: 「人死為鬼，鬼死為魙。鬼之畏魙，猶人之畏鬼也。」

那聻死為什麼？聻可以死嗎？

My Easter Present

Well, I never expected to get a Easter present because I am not accustomed to celebrate Easter nor people around me. It's just another holiday to me like Labor Day, National Day, et cetera with no special feelings attached to it.

Then my housemate Brad bought me a giant chocolate egg on the past Saturday. It was as big as my head! (maybe I have a smaller than average head...) It was really a surprise and I liked it.

Unfortunately, it has to be broken into pieces in order to eat it and that's what I did last night.

Good bye, chocolate egg.

Is this what Mormonism teaches?

I have not verified the truthfulness of this video nor it is worthwhile for me to do so. It's simply fun to watch.

I am a Satanist

"I don't believe in God anymore. I am a Satanist."

"I think that's a atheist. Satanist...... do things to goats."

What religion on Earth can possibly be more misunderstood than Satanism?

If you can come up with one, please kindly tell me.

When most people hear the term "Satanism", they think of things like animal sacrificing, digging graves, heavy metal music and teenage fans, or any other ridiculous things they see in the media and movies that they believe is real.

What if I tell you there is a kind of Satanism that the followers are rational and responsible adults, atheistic and do not believe in Satan as a supernatural deity, do not do human and animal sacrifice and harming children as it is explicitly prohibited, do not proselytize their beliefs?

Hard to believe, huh?

Now, can you see Darwinism at work?

This is definitely a "natural selection" to eliminate the incompetent.

The Heterosexual Questionnaire (Source)

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

2. When and how did you decide that you were a heterosexual?

3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that you may grow out of?

4. Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

5. If you have never slept with a person of the same sex, is it possible that all you need is a good gay lover?

6. Do your parents know that you are straight? Do your friends and roommates know?

7. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can't you just be who you are and keep it quiet?

8. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

9. Why do heterosexuals feel so compelled to introduce others into their lifestyle?

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual. Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual teachers?

11. Just what do men and women do in bed together? How can they truly know how to

please each other, being so anatomically different?

12. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships between heterosexuals?

13. Statistics show that lesbians have the lowest incidence of sexually transmitted disease. Is it really safe for a woman to maintain a heterosexual lifestyle and run the risk of disease and pregnancy?

14. How can you expect to become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality?

15. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

16. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don't you feel that s/he might be inclined to influence you in the direction of his/her own leanings?

17. There seems to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to. Have you considered trying aversion therapy?

18. Would you want your child to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they would face?

19. Are you sure you're heterosexual? You don't look heterosexual.

The intent of this questionnaire is to ask heterosexuals the questions, typically asked of homosexuals. By trying to answer these kinds of questions, one can gain some insight into how oppressive and discriminatory a “straight” frame of reference can be to gays and lesbians.

This may not be your first time watching or reading this, but I still think it's worthwhile to post it here.

You cannot escape...

You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.

- James Allen

It terrorized me that I cannot escape from what I think, because I am always unsatisfied with my thoughts but I cannot stop acting upon my thoughts.

There is no escape.

I must evolve.

Balls

While we were walking to the bus stop after I delivered a package... Me to my housemate: I have bigger balls than you do. He said: How do you know? Me: I peeked through the window while you were having a shower. (which is impossible without a ladder.) I was wearing a fuzzy hat with two dangling decorative fur balls. End of story.

Open/Closed Minded, Introspection & Convictions

If you ask anybody if are they open minded, they will most probably say yes. But not everybody is open minded. Is this a problem of introspection or the person is just bragging? To be honest, I think I am a bit closed minded. I would say I'm somewhere between open and closed minded (the little gray area). If someone came up with a point which is challenging my convictions, I will probably first deny the whole thing (a normal reaction just as everybody does) and then examine it thoroughly, to determine whether the new argument or my conviction is more practical and useful. Then just discard the impractical one. I don't care whether it's the new one or the old one. As long as it works for me, it's fine. Practicality is the measure of my convictions. 

Definitions: Open-minded - "unprejudiced: free from prejudice and receptive to new ideas" (Microsoft Encarta, 2007), "willing to consider ideas and opinions that are new or different to you own" (Cambridge, 2003) Closed-minded - "closed to new ideas or opinions: rigidly and obstinately averse to the consideration of new ideas or other people's arguments" (Microsoft Encarta, 2007) Introspection - self-examination: the detailed mental examination of your own feelings, thoughts, and motives (Microsoft Encarta, 2007), "examination and consideration of your own ideas, thoughts and feelings" (Cambridge, 2003) Convictions - "firmly held belief: a belief or opinion that is held firmly" (Microsoft Encarta, 2007), "a strong opinion or belief" (Cambridge, 2003)
